## Resource

A woman in Edmonton, Crystal Jean MacDonald, has been sentenced to two years of house arrest after her two Cane Corsos fatally attacked an 11-year-old boy, Kache Grist, in April 2024. The dogs, with a documented history of aggression—including killing two pets and injuring three people—were not euthanized despite warnings. Prosecutors sought five years in prison, citing MacDonald’s failure to act, while the defense argued for a conditional sentence, highlighting her clean record and efforts to protect the child. The judge agreed on house arrest with strict curfews and a lifetime dog ownership ban (with possible reinstatement after eight years), calling it sufficient punishment without risking reoffense. The boy’s father, MacDonald’s roommate, said she shouldn’t go to prison. MacDonald is appealing the conviction, as this case underscores the devastating legal and emotional consequences when pet aggression leads to tragedy.
